You'll have to excuse us Northerners. Being called subtropic is not something that happens every day. Even Belgium is pretty far from the subtropics. Think Mexico, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt....

it's pretty obvious that tourney organizers will try to finish it indoor rather than cancelling it. hence my comment on indoor venues. given Toronto's winter climate I don't think they will struggle to find a proper structure to host the last rounds.

I can`t remember anything like that on Tour level for last years, but that happened with some Challenger tournament. If I`m correct quarterfinals there never were played and players got the same money and points as quarterfinalists, nothing more.

There was a challenger last year in January in Réunion - located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar - which was cancelled in the Quaterfinal stage giving 15 points to everyone, but I never heard that from an ATP 250/500 or Masters event

Then I remembered correct, thank you.

I read about such decision on Tour level in 80-s, but can`t remember anything more clear. It was time when I could have kept more similar information in head simulteneously...

The majority of the players will move on to Cincinnati over the weekend, the vultures will stay in the underground parking lots sheltering themselves from this monsoon and continue on vulturing the rest of the points available in the tournament once the rains are over.

Credible sources tell me that once Daveed Ferrer learned about the meteorological situation in Toronto, he booked a first hour Monday morning flight to Toronto. He might still get in and snatch a few precious hundred points.
